English proficiency and academic success in international postgraduate education

In the Netherlands internationalization of higher education may lead to an increasing use of a foreign language-for example English-as the medium of instruction. This may raise the issue whether learning in a foreign language affects academic performance, given the language problems international students are faced with when studying abroad. The present article reviews research in this field and presents a study into the academic achievement of 90 Indonesian engineers. These subjects took a one-year English-medium postgraduate course at the International Institute for Hydraulics and Environmental Engineering in Delft. Language proficiency was measured by TOEFL and academic success was defined as the average score on seven written examinations. A most remarkable finding is the observation of a cut-off point in the relationship between English proficiency and academic success. This has led to the hypothesis that there is a range of TOEFL scores within which a better command of English increases the chance of being academically successful. The lower and upper limits of this range may vary according to academic discipline or may even be institution-specific. Additional findings are presented as well as implications and directions for further research.     

Job satisfaction among young European higher education graduates

The effects of diverse education-related variables on job satisfaction scores are analysed using a sample of European higher education graduates at early stages of their working life. Ordered choice models for job satisfaction are estimated including as explanatory diverse educational variables such as field of study, graduates’ evaluation of their educational experience, the match between the competences developed during education and those required by jobs, as well as information on graduates’ values and interests. The results show, even after controlling for actual job characteristics, that education-related variables have a great impact on graduates’ job satisfaction. Additionally, estimation results by each one of the countries included in the sample are also presented.

Social inequalities in access to higher education in Croatia: five decades of resilient findings

This article provides a panoramic view of research findings on social inequalities in access to higher education in Croatia since the 1960s, guided by the question of what has changed in the findings. Our review shows that there is stark continuity over the last five decades: students from better educated family backgrounds tend to be overrepresented in higher education; students from better educated and white-collar family backgrounds are more likely to enrol in academic as opposed to professional study courses; students at one Croatian university in particular stand out in terms of their more privileged social background; and medicine seems to be the prime academic field for observing social reproduction. We note that these persistent findings run parallel to a dramatically changing political, economic and social context in Croatia, including transformations in the 1990s resulting from social ownership of the means of production to widespread private ownership, as well as transformations from a one-party political system to the establishment of a multi-party political system. The article maps possible theoretical explanations for the resilience of social inequalities in access to higher education in the context of dynamic times. It also questions the role of educational policies in this process.     

The economic returns to field of study and competencies among higher education graduates in Ireland

This paper looks at the economic returns to different fields of study in Ireland in 2004 and also the value placed on various job-related competencies, accumulated on completion of higher education, in the Irish labour market. In examining these issues, the paper also analyses, through quantile regression, how the returns vary across the earnings distribution. The impact that education-job mismatch, both education level and field, has on earnings is also taken into consideration. The results derived indicate that, relative to the base case, there are higher returns to Medicine & Veterinary, Education, Engineering & Architecture, Science and Computers & IT. Small but significant returns were found for some of the competencies analysed, in particular technical skills. The quantile regression analysis reveals that both field and competency returns vary across the wage distribution and that, apart from Medicine & Veterinary and technical skills, field and competency-specific returns diminish as one moves up the earnings distribution.     

A comparative analysis of study satisfaction among young European higher education graduates

This article identifies those aspects of the academic environment that are associated with graduates' overall satisfaction with their higher education (HE) course. We use REFLEX data, which allow comparison among 14 European countries, based on a pooled sample and individual country regressions. Overall, the degree of satisfaction with HE studies appears to be driven to a great extent by the academic environment. The results also confirm the persistence of country-specific traits in different HE systems. This substantial variation among European countries in terms of learning environment may have an influence on subsequent employment experience. While some systems encourage independent learning through participation in research projects, others rely heavily on direct teaching as the main source of information.

Gender and access to education in Asia

Attention has been focused in recent years by international agencies and national governments in Asia on the need to extend educational opportunity and to universalize at least the first level of education. The resource constraints of economically developing societies have militated against reaching these goals. Statistics of gender-based enrolment at all three levels of education show that equal access of women to education even at the first level is an almost illusory goal for six countries in South Asia. Gender disparities in educational participation are seen to be minimal in other countries except in vocational education. It is argued that while economic difficulties are a major constraint to educational opportunity, patriarchal social structures have also operated as a significant barrier in economically disadvantaged countries.

Zusammenfassung In den letzten Jahren haben internationale Behörden und nationale Regierungen in Asien die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Notwendigkeit gelenkt, die Möglichkeiten zur Erziehung zu erweitern und zumindestens die erste Stufe der Erziehung weltweit auszubauen. Die Einschränkungen der Ressourcen in den sich wirtschaftlich entwickelnden Ländern haben dem entgegen gewirkt, diese Ziele zu erreichen. Statistische Daten über die geschlechtsspezifische Beteiligung auf allen drei Stufen des Erziehungswesens zeigen, daß es in sechs Ländern Südasiens fast ein illusorisches Ziel ist, daß Frauen, wenn auch nur auf der primaren Stufe, den gleichen Zugang zur Erziehung erhalten. Geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede bei der Teilnahme an der Erziehung erscheinen außer in der Berufserziehung in anderen Ländern minimal. Während hauptsächlich wirtschaftliche Schwierigkeiten die Beteiligung beider Geschlechter in den Bildungsstätten behindern, stellen patriarchale Gesellschaftsstrukturen ein wichtiges Hindernis in wirtschaftlich benachteiligten Ländern dar.

Résumé Les organismes internationaux et les gouvernements nationaux en Asie ont porté leur attention au cours des dernières années sur la nécessité de développer les occasions d'apprentissage et de généraliser au moins le premier niveau de l'enseignement. Les contraintes financières des sociétés économiquement en développement ont milité contre la réalisation de ces objectifs. Les statistiques des effectifs scolaires selon le sexe pour les trois degrés de l'enseignement révèlent que l'égalité d'accès des femmes à l'éducation ne constitue, même au premier niveau, qu'un objectif presque illusoire dans six pays de l'Asie du sud. L'inégalité des sexes dans la participation éducative est considérée comme minimale dans d'autres pays, à l'exception de l'enseignement professionnel. On démontre que si les difficultés économiques constituent une entrave majeure à l'offre éducative, les structures patriarcales ont représenté un obstacle insurmontable dans les pays défavorisées économiquement.

Claiming access to elite curriculum: identification and division at the Harvard Annex

This article analyses the rhetorical practices deployed by the Society for the Collegiate Instruction for Women (SCIW) that sought to gain and maintain curricular access to Harvard University in the late 19^th century Using Kenneth Burke’s theory of identification as an analytical framework, the article considers how the SCIW composed Burkean rhetorics of identification and division towards achieving this goal. The SCIW’s identificatory practices are worth serious attention because of the full range of rhetorical modes these women leveraged. Their identificatory rhetorics not only took the discursive form of writing, but the SCIW also articulated their claims through the rhetorical use of students’ bodies as well as the built environment in Cambridge. This examination of the robust rhetorical repertoire of the SCIW prompts scholars of curriculum studies to expand their analytical vision by considering how groups such as the SCIW not only gain curricular access to elite sites of education but also how they maintain and make use of such access.     

Preferences for parent education programs among low socioeconomic status,culturally diverse parents

This study examined parent preferences, behaviors, and beliefs toward school‐based parent education programs among 395 low income, culturally diverse parents. Parents of different socioeconomic levels reported similar preferences toward parent education events and perceptions of barriers to parent education programs. More differences were noted among parents regarding parenting beliefs and behaviors. Higher educational attainment was associated with more active involvement in parenting events and beliefs more consonant with the parenting programs likely to be offered at school (e.g., those with an Adlerian orientation). Few racial differences were noted after controlling for the differential effects of educational attainment. Implications for developing effective parenting programs are discussed. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
